A Poem About Poetry By A Poet

Poets and poetry are like script is to paper –

One is fit for use by the other;

Script and paper go hand in hand –

For expression in-depth, and words to perfect.

Those artists have visions –

Out of which they compose,

Stories and lessons –

With inspiration and purpose.

Poets are storytellers –

Of the synchronizing nature;

To give a lesson in life,

To entertain and allure.

Whether sonnets, ballads,

Or rhyme, or verse;

It all comes down to –

One's personal tastes.

Poets portray – family, travellers,

The rich and the poor,

The flora and the fauna,

And all that inspire.

Those lyricists create, with the use of technique:

The Paronym… Homonym…

Retronym… plus Antonym…

And, last but not least – Synonym… and Eponym.

Poets love poetry and love what they do –

And are drawn to their craft to let the words flow;

As paper and ink come together,

To be the link to the soliloquy.
